Before you install Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V, you must download the
installation package and extract the installation files from the package.
Procedure
-
Download the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V package from IBM
Passport Advantage® or Fix
Central.
-
Extract the compressed installation file that you downloaded:
-
Copy the downloaded compressed installation package to a local disk or to a network-accessible
share. Be sure to extract the installation files to an empty directory
(extract_folder).
-
To extract the installation files to the same directory, double-click the compressed
installation package.
By default, the uncompressed files are stored in the current disk drive, in the
extract_folder\TSMHYPERV_WIN directory.
If the installation program detects files from another Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V installation attempt in
this directory, you are prompted to specify whether to overwrite the old files. If you see a prompt
about overwriting files, enter (A)lways
to overwrite the existing files; this
selection ensures that only the files from the current installation are used.
Results
The Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V
installation program (spinstall.exe) is located in the
extract_folder\TSMHYPERV_WIN directory.
